One punkass dead (which he deserved) and 4 accomplices apprehended.
Which means 5 FEWER carjackers in the streets.

fixed!

I have no pity for the kid. I'm sorry, but that was just a stupid fucking move on his part.

How do you guys know that he "fumbled" for his gun as he was being robbed? Perhaps he noticed the people in the area, quietly reached for his gun and then flashed it in the open when confronted. It's not like he took the time to dive for it after the people were surrounding him and asking to give them his car. The man had a concealed weapons PERMIT for fucks sake, that means he knows incredibly well how to safely hide a weapon, obtain it from that hidden spot and use it with skill. It doesn't mean he's going to aimlessly toss it under his seat and then dive for it once a gun is pulled on him.

The kids were on a crime spree. You can only try to rob people so many times before someone's going to have the balls to fight back. When you point a gun at a pedestrian, you don't know whether or not they have a weapon. Regardless of whether or not it's loaded, the person facing the barrel is thinking one thing, "OH SHIT! I'm fucking dead in thirty seconds. FUCK!" Even if I was being robbed and someone demands my car and I chose to give it to them I would still fear for my life. Why? Because he has a gun pointed at me, because I don't know how mentally unstable this individual is, and because people have been shot even after they've given the robber everything s/he/they have demanded.

If I had a concealed weapons permit and I was confronted and fearing for my life, I would've done the same exact thing.

Actually in these kinds of situations, there's only two types of people running around with a gun, people who point it at other people and rely on looking tough to do the work... this doesn't actually work very well when they meet the other type of people who only pull guns out to shoot someone/something.
If they have the gun out and intended to shoot you, they would have already done it by that stage, hauling yours out just has that second where they try to decide if they're in it for real or just the 'I have a gun' t-shirt club.
By then, their ass is on the deck if you know what you're doing.

How can you feel sorry for someone that played with people's emotions? When you violate other people you lose your own rights. That guy that shot that kid had no way to know that they weren't going to attack him. He was outnumbered five to one. They held a gun and a bat to him. He obviously felt threatened. He reacted because they forced him to react. He didn't have ten minutes to sit and debate over good vs evil and right from wrong. He did what he felt he needed to do and I'm certainly not going to sit here and question him. Do you really think all carjackings that are committed are done so without injury to the victim? It's so easy to say what you would have done when it wasn't you that it happened to.

Lets put it this way would you rather hand over your car, or kill someone?

If I had my family in my car and a carjacking situation would ensue, I would kill someone, YES.

Assuming you are guaranteed that you wouldn't be killed in the process.

Making that assumption.
